What did they call a carbonated beverage?

Deep South, we called everything 'a coke'. Even if it's Dr Pepper or 7-up etc. Let's go get a coke... When you actually order your stuff at the counter, then you can get specific about which 'coke' you want. I can remember my sister asking me what kind of coke I wanted.

In the midwest we say pop and coke . If you are a transplant from the south you usually say coke . I have a friend from the East coast she says soda .

I was born in the Midwest and we called it Pop. "Wanna get a pop? " Now I live on the East Coast and it is called soda.

I lived in many different states when I was a child. Most of them in the southern part of the United States. With the Tennessee accent that I grew up with, we called it "A cold Drank." and it was rare as rare could be when we had one.

We drank well water, iced tea and coffee. No milk; no pop. I moved to Michigan when I was 10 and noticed it was called "pop.

" But so was your Daddy called Pop. So, I lived my early years confused about a lot of things. When I was 13 and back in Michigan after having lived in Kentucky, I asked for a Dr. Pepper and was laughed at.

No one had ever heard of the drink. I remember at some point people calling it "sodey pop" never simply "pop." But my grandfather and father and close Tennessee relatives called it a "Cold Drank.

" Not "drInk" Thank you Equus, for this fun question. Njoy.

When I lived on East Coast we called it "Pop" Now I'm on West Coast, everybody says "Soda" ~Micki~.

We called it soft drinks or called it by its real name, as in Coke, 7Up, gingerale, orange crush, etc. Then we moved and everyone called it pop. We held out, though, for years. Then when I got married, it was pop.

It's like I grew up all at once and conformed.

Soda or coke. If we wanted Coke specifically, we called it cocola.

I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
